x11vnc installation
To install x11vnc, run at command line
sudo apt-get install x11vnc
x11vnc -rfbauth /path/to/passfile -rfbport 5900 -shared -forever -nowf -norc -notruecolor -scale 4/5 -scale_cursor 1 -desktop computer_name -bg
- rfbauth /path/to/passfile asks authentication, if missing, then not
- rfbport 5900 defines the TCP port 5900, where you run the x11vnc server
- shared gives access more than one simultaneous session
- forever runs x11vnc server forever. If this parameter not shown, then x11vnc closes down
- nowf tries to detect window moves or resizes when a mouse button is held down and show a wireframe instead of the full opaque window
- norc makes rudimentary config file support: if the file $HOME/.x11vncrc exists then each line in it is treated as a single command line option. Disable with -norc.
- notruecolor Gives for 8bpp displays, force indexed color (i.e. a colormap) even if it looks like 8bpp TrueColor (rare problem).
- scale 4/5 will scale the framebuffer by factor fraction. E.g. 17” screen with 1027×768 will shown as 800×600. Useful if your monitor has lower resolution than the remote computer. If remote computer screen resolution is much more bigger than yours - you may use bigger fraction, e.g. 3/4, etc..
- scale_cursor 1 is useful not to scale cursor but only screen resolution.
- desktop computer_name means the computer or owner or company or whatever describes for you that remote computer. Spaces and characters with umlaut are not allowed. Replase computer_name with your desired name.
- bg will run x11vnc in background
